Former UDeCOTT chairman Calder Hart returns to Trinidad and Tobago from the US on Monday and is to be charged with perjury, Congress of the People (COP) lawyers, Timothy Hamel-Smith and Vernon De Lima, claimed yesterday.

Furthermore, an application will be made by Hart’s lawyers to gag discussion on all issues relating to Hart, they stated at a news conference at COP’s Flagship House in Woodbrook.

’Our information is that Calder Hart is due back on Monday 3. We understand that it is proposed that he be charged for perjury. Bail is being fixed at $1.5 million. Arrangements are being made for that (bail) already,’ De Lima said.
We understand that an application will thereafter be made to gag discussion on issues relating to Calder Hart. That means to say that a judge of the High Court will be approached by application that an order be made that nobody in Trinidad and Tobago, including any politician, any newspaper, media, can say anything about Mr Hart, having regard to the fact that he is under criminal charge ...That application will be made ex parte - that is without the judge hearing the input of anybody else but Mr Hart’s attorney.’
